Thinking of swapping out the rear skid on my 2011 XTX. Mine has enough miles on it and needs a total rebuild. I'm not opposed to doing it, just wondering what others have wedged into place to replace stock? I've seen a couple with the Viper skid, any other skids work good? What mods where needed to make it work? Thanks for any input and pics of your setups.

the float skid (all 141" cat and the viper skid) swap is a common, there is a huge thread on this subject in the nytro mountain riding section

Check this out, worked this swap out last year on my XTX and love it.

I put a timbersled mountain tamer kit into mine and it works really well, kinda pricey though. "m.schuey7" swap will give similar results and probably cheaper to do "VERY COOL MOD"

I swapped in a 141 float skid out of a crossfire. Its better in every way... it rides so much better, weighs 30lb less, and its way easier to work on.
